#12 IN THE WORLD

A REFINED MEDITERRANEAN COVE SETTING

Cala Macarella in Menorca forms a near-perfect horseshoe-shaped cove, where clear turquoise water sits between steep limestone cliffs and dense pine forest. The enclosed shape of the bay offers reliable shelter from wind and swell, which means you will find consistently calm, glassy conditions that are less common along more exposed stretches of the Mediterranean. Despite being one of the island’s more visited beaches, its location within a protected area keeps development minimal and the overall setting largely intact. The contrast between rugged cliffs, shaded greenery, and bright, reflective water gives Cala Macarella a perfect Mediterranean character.

THE PERFECT DAY AT Cala Macarella

  • WIND

    Look for days where the wind will be blowing from behind the beach towards the water, as well as days with little to no wind.

    High season peaks in July and August, and Cala Macarella is much busier during those months than it is at other times of the year. June and September are a great compromise with less crowds and excellent weather.

  • TIME OF DAY

    Due to the popularity of European beaches in summer, we recommend visiting Cala Macarella fairly early in the morning to enjoy it without it being very crowded.

  • CALM SEAS

    The Mediterranean is much calmer from June through October, which is the best time of year to visit Cala Macarella.
